Skills

Skills are invoked as /dave-liddament:<skill-name>.

• docker-php-cli — Docker setup for PHP CLI projects
• php-project-setup — Standard PHP project tooling and config
• makefile-php-cli — Makefile wrapping Docker and PHP commands
• phpstan-custom-rule — Create custom PHPStan rules

docker-php-cli

Set up Docker for a PHP CLI project with Xdebug support.

• Generates Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml
• Xdebug enabled by default, easy to toggle off
• Composer cache persisted via Docker volume
• PHP version configurable via build arg
• Updates CLAUDE.md to instruct Claude to use Docker for all PHP commands

/dave-liddament:docker-php-cli

php-project-setup

Set up a new PHP project or complete the setup of an existing one. Works incrementally — checks what already exists and only adds what's missing.

Includes:

• Standard directory structure (src/, tests/, utils/)
• PHP 8.3+ requirement
• Composer dependencies: PHPStan (with strict rules, PHPUnit, webmozart-assert, php-language-extensions, and disallowed-calls extensions), PHPUnit, and php-language-extensions
• Isolated dev tools via bamarni/composer-bin-plugin: PHP-CS-Fixer, parallel-lint, composer-require-checker, and composer-unused
• Composer scripts for CI, linting, static analysis, code style, and testing
• Template configs for PHPStan and PHP-CS-Fixer
• .gitignore setup

/dave-liddament:php-project-setup

makefile-php-cli

Create a Makefile wrapping Docker and PHP tooling for a CLI project.

• OS detection with Linux user mapping for correct file permissions
• Docker targets: build, up, start, down, logs
• App targets generated dynamically from composer.json scripts
• Always includes app/shell and app/composer with passthrough params
• Self-documenting via make help
• Updates CLAUDE.md to prefer Make targets over direct Docker commands

/dave-liddament:makefile-php-cli

phpstan-custom-rule

Create a custom PHPStan rule with tests and fixtures. Handles both initial environment setup (directories, autoloading, test suite, config) and rule creation.

• Sets up utils/phpstan/ directory structure on first use
• Creates test fixtures first for review before implementing the rule
• Generates rule class, test class, and fixture files
• Registers the rule in phpstan.neon
• Supports error message placeholders and custom formatters via phpstan-rule-test-helper
